Postgraduate Training in Paediatrics

Overview

The Graduate School of Medicine KPJ Healthcare University (KPJU) and KPJ Specialist Hospitals is offering a postgraduate programme in paediatrics. This is a 4.5 years structured postgraduate programme that prepares medical officers (registrars) for the MRCPCH examinations as well as to gain clinical experience for registration in the National Specialist Registry (NSR) as a paediatrician. Candidates will be working as registrars at KPJ Specialist Hospitals throughout the programme. The hallmark of the programme is “one-to-one” hands-on apprenticeship, where each registrar in the programme is closely supervised and working together with consultants in paediatrics and its sub-specialties. The programme will enhance candidates’ knowledge and clinical skills to pass the MRCPCH as well as fulfil the training and working requirements for NSR registration as specialists in paediatrics, after completion of the 4.5 years programme.
